Tunisian President Fears the Use of Constitutional Court to Overthrow Him
|
[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] Tunisian President Kais Saied fears political parties will use the Constitutional Court to settle political scores, including removing him from his post, according to several politicians.
The leaders indicated that the president did not sign a number of decrees and refused to receive the new ministers for constitutional oath following the ministerial reshuffle made by Prime Minister Hichem Mechichi.
"They want it to be a court for settling scores," said Saied, asserting that he will implement the constitution despite not being convinced with a number of provisions.
The President, who is a professor of constitutional law, added that the constitution will prevail over all other legislation.
Addressing his political rivals, Saied warned that the Constitutional Court should not be toyed with, asserting that through the law, Tunisians will restore their right in their country and state.
Earlier this month, the president refused to sign the constitutional court law amendments introduced by the parliament, saying he has the right to resort to legal arguments, such as the constitutional deadlines stipulated in the 2014 constitution.
He also stressed the need to respect all provisions of the constitution aside from any "unscientific, and even malicious interpretation," which brought to attention the possibility of using the Constitutional Court to overthrow him.
